I have never seen such large crepe myrtles. They never get very big here. Our winters are too severe. I love to see their mottled bark. Your area is way ahead of our area bloom-wise. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Good to hear from you.

LOL, I've only ever seen crepe myrtles once, but, no, they were not anywhere near that big. Love the photo. Also love the idea of a Jonquil Jubilee. We have a Daffodil Line in Ann Arbor, but it's not quite as fun!

My gosh, that crape myrtle is unreal!

Nice photos - My mother and I also enjoyed the jonquil jubilee. The weather was great. We also entered the raffle - we both bought tickets for both of the prizes. We did not win the quilt but now we know who won the other prize. Hope you enjoy it.

What fun to tag along with you and ML. I rarely see any crape myrtles so that one does look big and beautiful. You shouldn't tease us so with that raffle prize taunt.

thank you for the tour Jean. There is always a feeling of nostalgia when I see an abandoned old house and flowers continuing to bloom around... still a presence.

Thanks for the tour - love the dogtrot house, in the middle east they had a similar construction before the advent of air conditioning, a tower at the top which (somehow) created a breeze through the whole house. Loved the daffodils - it's going to be a late bloom for us this year, can't wait.

Luv the name....Jonquil Jubilee.

This is the second time in a week that I've heard mention of the Red Cockaded Woodpecker. Had never heard of them before, probably because they don't come this far north.

Dogtrot houses, that's new to me also. When I finish this comment, I'll go check out the link.

Your friend, Mary Louise, truly is a tree hugger:)

Gary - a little sunshine and your daffs will be blooming in no time.

Randy - yes, I think that's a southern thing.

Rose - yes, the breezeway combined with windows pulled the air through the house. Typically the kitchen and dining room were on one side and the bedroom(s) were on the other side. The sitting area was the breezeway. No, I didn't win a Japanese Maple. :-)

Gail - yes, a super-size crapemyrtle!

Wow on the crape myrtle...it's so impressive. I did think she was kissing it at first! gail

Thanks for the tour, Jean--what a great way to spend the day! Fields of daffodils--now that's my idea of paradise. I think I've heard of a dogtrot house before, but never knew what it was. I suppose the idea was to keep it cool in the summer?

Now you have me curious about your raffle prize--I'm guessing it's a Japanese maple, but maybe that's only because I want one so badly:)

You can ALWAYS tell where old homeplaces were by the huge patches of Daffodils! I just love them!--Randy

What a fantastic place to have been, and lovely pictures...Thank You!
The old house with the daffodils is definitely the place for me.
Our daffodils here in the UK are only just showing some green growth.
